Understanding test result

[Tracy007]

IgE test 247 ku/l extremely high ?  

tested for celiac as every symptom is there 

IgA and IgG both 0.1 um/l 

no follow up appointment is needed so the doctors tell me?

@Tracy007, we can't comment on your results unless you also include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the IGA and the IGG and please specify which IGA and which IGG tests were run. There are more than one of each that can be run. IGE is not a test for celiac disease but is an indicator for allergic reactions. Celiac disease is an autoimmune response, not an allergy.

There is no range it says in known ?

That sentence doesn't make sense grammatically so I'm sure what you are trying to say. I would assume that since the report says no follow up is needed that the test results were negative. 

If you have symptoms that align with celiac disease then you may have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but for which there is not testing that has yet been developed. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. It does not damage the lining of the small bowel, however, as does celiac disease and therefore produces no antibodies that can be detected in the blood. Both conditions require a gluten free diet.

IgE is typically an allergy test, and not a test for celiac disease. IgA and IgG both 0.1 um/l are likely your celiac disease test results, but as @trents mentioned, without a reference range there is no way to know, although if either were positive you would likely require a follow up appointment.
